The King of Kings
The King of Kings is the Greatest Story Ever Told as only Cecil B. DeMille could tell it.

Featuring text drawn directly from the Bible, a cast of thousands, and the great showman’s singular cinematic bag of tricks, The King of Kings is at once spectacular and deeply reverent—part Gospel, part Technicolor epic.
